President Trump Sending 200 U.S. Experts in Transportation, Planning, Security, Logistics and Engineering to Establish Gaza Coordination Center


Posted originally on CTH on October 10, 2025 | Sundance

As noted by President Trump during his remarks about the regional state leaders requesting that he personally head the “Gaza Board of Peace,” it is only USA President Trump the regional stakeholder’s trust.

Together with the USA and Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the UAE and Qatar have tentatively constructed a ceasefire and peace plan that is contingent upon President Trump as the fulcrum to balance all interests.  This puts President Trump in an exceptionally important position.  This balance is also why only Donald Trump can pull this off.

As the difficult challenge begins, the preliminary objectives – the ‘how to do this‘ – aspect starts to surface.  As noted by the Associated Press, President Trump is sending 200 experts in transportation, planning, security, logistics and engineering from the U.S. military to frame out a “civil-military coordination center” in Israel.

The coordination center will include partner nations, nongovernmental organizations and private-sector experts.  The regional states will supplement and support the center as the transitional hub for immediate reconstruction and humanitarian aid.  It is likely President Trump will need to select and appoint members to the Gaza Board of Peace as this coordination center gets up and running.

As this process unfolds, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to get angered by a predictable stiff-arm from President Trump.  The regional stakeholders will be watching this dynamic closely.  Domestically, this will be very interesting to watch play out.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is sending about 200 troops to Israel to help support and monitor the ceasefire deal in Gaza as part of a team that includes partner nations, nongovernmental organizations and private-sector players, U.S. officials said Thursday.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details that were not authorized for release, said U.S. Central Command is going to establish a “civil-military coordination center” in Israel that will help facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid as well as logistical and security assistance into the territory wracked by two years of war.

The remarks provide some of the first details on how the ceasefire deal would be monitored and that the U.S. military would have a role in that effort.

After Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a Trump administration plan to halt the fighting, a litany of questions remain on next steps, including Hamas disarmament, a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a future government in the territory.

One of the officials said the new team will help monitor implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the transition to a civilian government in Gaza. (read more)

The predictable response from domestic U.S-Israel interests is likely to follow the same pattern we see unfolding in the recent decision by the Dept of Defense to help train Qataris on the F-15 purchase.

(Via MJUltra) “The U.S. and Qatar signed an agreement to establish a Qatari Emiri Air Force training facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, for joint training with Qatari F-15 jets and pilots, leveraging Qatar’s role in peace talks and prior defense deals.”

U.S.-Qatar deal: Qatari Air Force training facility at Idaho base for joint F-15 training.

The Dept of War has authorized Qatar to build a training facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho.  This is not a Qatari base in the U.S, but rather a hosted training contingent under U.S. military control.

This is similar to the Tyndall Air Force base in Florida where Qatar military already trains, or to Singapore’s F-15 training at Mountain Home, Idaho, since 2009, or the Dutch F-16 training facility in New Mexico.  This is not an unusual set up as it permits training while the Dept of War can control strategic tech and intel systems at home.

Qatar’s massive $12 billion F-15 purchase requires U.S-based training and Mountain Home’s infrastructure suits this need perfectly.  The joint training is routine.  The bottom line is the joint Qatar-U.S. training facility is not controversial; however, domestically the voices of Israeli influencers are already going bananas.

First Lady Melania Trump Announces Initial Results from Ukraine/Russia Family Reunification Effort


Posted originally on CTH on October 10, 2025 | Sundance

First Lady Melania Trump announces the initial results from her joint collaboration effort to reunify displaced children during the Ukraine/Russia conflict.

Announcing that she holds a direct line of communication between herself and Russian President Vladimir Putin, First Lady Melania Trump also noted that a personal representative acting on her behalf (perhaps Ric Grenell) has coordinated the safe transfer process for reunification of children both from Ukraine to Russia and from Russia to Ukraine.

Mrs Trump was born in what is now Slovenia when that country was part of the former Yugoslavia.  Melania Trump speaks Russian.  The First Lady made the stunning announcement in the Grand Foyer of the White House. Melania told reporters “much [had] unfolded” since she sent a letter in August to Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the fate of children who’ve been taken to Russia after being caught up in the front-line conflict.  WATCH:

First Lady Melania Trump said her “representative” has been “working directly with President Putin’s team to ensure the safe reunification of children with their families between Russia and Ukraine,” starting with eight children who have been “rejoined with their families” over the last 24 hours.

Of those eight, Mrs Trump said three had been “separated from their parents and displaced to the Russian Federation because of frontline fighting” while the other five had been “separated from family members across borders because of the conflict,” with one of the five children being a Russian girl stuck in Ukraine who was repatriated to Russia.

Venezuela Opposition Candidate Maria Corina Machado is Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

As noted within the Reuters article announcing the decision, “experts on the award had said Trump would not win it as he is dismantling the international world order the Nobel committee cherishes.”

That “expert” worldview is essentially accurate. The ‘one-world-government’ globalists do not appreciate the nationalist disruption that President Donald Trump represents. The “Nobel award” is essentially as relevant as a “Pulitzer,” which is to say it ain’t.

(Reuters) -Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.

She won “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee said in its citation. (read more)

President Trump Holds a Bilateral Discussion with Finland President Alexander Stubb


Posted originally on CTH on October 10, 2025 | Sundance

Finland is slightly smaller than Montana and wedged between Sweden and Russia. Finland, a nation of approximately 5 million people, has a security outlook shaped by its geography, a strategic position within the new NATO/Arctic strategy.

President Trump holds a bilateral discussion with Finnish President Alexander Stubb as the two leaders’ complete terms for eleven icebreaker ships valued at $6.1 billion. Under terms of the deal, three of the ships will be built by Davie in Galveston, Texas, and four by Bollinger Shipyards in Houma, Louisiana.

Finland is the world leader in icebreaking ship building and will help teach U.S. ship building companies on the latest advances in the technology. WATCH:

Beyond Hubris – U.K, France and Germany Organize Urgent Meeting to Take Control of “Gaza Board of Peace”


Posted originally on CTH on October 9, 2025 | Sundance

International politics can be boring at times, but the one constant in an ever-changing universe is the hubris of the European Union.

With President Trump outlining the breakthrough negotiations for a peace agreement in Gaza, Emmanuel Macron (France), Keir Starmer (U.K) and Friedrich Merz (Germany) call an urgent meeting of EU Foreign Ministers to organize their strategy to take over the Gaza “Board of Peace.”

EUROPE – Now that Donald Trump’s peace deal has the green light, European powers want a seat at the table.

As the news broke that Israel and Hamas had agreed the first phase of a ceasefire plan, French President Emmanuel Macron sent a rapid call out to other European allies and Arab nations to meet in Paris.

British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul both broke away from a U.K.-hosted summit on the Western Balkans to meet fellow ministers in France.

[…] The trio of countries known as the “E3” is likely to argue for a representative on the “Board of Peace,” the body that will oversee the transitional governance of Gaza by a Palestinian committee. (read more)

At a topline review the demands of the EU are pure hubris.  However, when you review the underlying background of the EU state actors, the events are more appropriately considered pathetic.

The British social and economic system is in a severe state of crisis.  The parliamentary government of France has collapsed five times in the past two years, and the German industrial base is shrinking, rapidly.

Simultaneous to this, China is crushing the Europeans on their own turf.  There was a reason Team Trump (Greer, Bessent) had to meet Team Xi in Geneva and not in Asia during the U.S-China trade discussions.

China is making massive economic moves inside and around Europe as an offset to lost position in North America. In case you haven’t noticed, Europeans are starting to drive BYD’s (Build Your Dreams), while Merz angrily eats his strudel.  Xi’s industrial capacity is much stronger than Brussels’ ability to withstand it.

To keep the pitchfork proles from noticing the mounting economic losses, Macron, Starmer and Merz have been pushing Ukraine/Russia shiny things.  Gaza presents another opportunity to cloak the naked European emperors.

Democrats Decide to Take Out Candidate Katie Porter from California DNC Primary Race for Governor


Posted originally on CTH on October 9, 2025 | Sundance

Interestingly it appears the Democrat machinery has decided to torpedo former House member Katie Porter from her primary race for governor. Monday a controversial video segment appeared showcasing the unstable disposition of Mrs Porter, and today someone from inside the Biden govt decided to deploy another video showing her angry state of mind.

As noted by the New York Post, “California gubernatorial hopeful Katie Porter snapped and tried to storm out of an interview after being asked a simple question about President Trump — with the Democrat raging “I don’t want this all on camera.” Footage of the bizarre encounter, which aired on Monday and quickly started going viral, captured Porter flipping out when the reporter asked how she planned to win Republican votes as she tries to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom.” WATCH:

The second video is even more interesting as it comes from the vaults of the Democrat leadership apparatus.  The second video emphasizing the unstable Porter narrative was recorded during an interview with former Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm in July 2021.

The video was sent to, and released by, Politico [STORY HERE].

.

[…] “Video of the exchange, exclusively obtained by POLITICO Wednesday, shows an online conversation between Porter and then-Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm in July 2021. Several minutes in, Porter’s staffer interjected to correct something the Democratic representative had said about electric vehicles. Porter then reprimanded her employee, who had also previously appeared periodically in the background during the recording.” MORE

The leaks are obviously blue on blue targeting as someone high up in the leadership of the Democrat apparatus wants someone other than Katie Porter to win the DNC nomination for California governor.

This looks an awful lot like a Pelosi operation.

History Unfolding – President Trump, Mideast Coalition and Prime Minister Netanyahu Announce Gaza Peace Deal


Posted originally on CTH on October 9, 2025 | Sundance

In a remarkable moment of transparent diplomacy, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were simultaneously working on a Gaza peace agreement while conducting a domestic security roundtable event at the White House.

The cameras were rolling when President Trump stated the negotiation team was close to an agreement. WATCH:

Evan Vucci of the Associated Press captured an image of Rubio’s note, which read: “Very close. We need you to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first.” Shortly after the roundtable event, President Trump shared the results of the discussions taking place in Egypt.

I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!”

~DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

WASHINGTON DC – […] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, called it “a great day for Israel” and thanked the Israel Defense Forces and the U.S. president.

“Tomorrow I will convene the government to approve the agreement and bring all our beloved hostages home,” he said in a statement. “I extend my gratitude to the brave IDF soldiers and all the security forces, whose courage and sacrifice have brought us to this day.”

He signaled support for a longer-term agreement, saying “With God’s help, together we will continue to achieve all our goals and enhance peace with our neighbors.” (more)

For the past several days U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner have been in Egypt conducting negotiations with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani and Ron Dermer, the head of Israel’s negotiation team and a close confidant of Netanyahu.  The Hamas delegation was led by Khalil al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official.

The agreement represents a significant diplomatic accomplishment by the Trump administration, and -if it holds- this will mean the end to two years of bloodshed and a spiraling humanitarian catastrophe.

As noted by Politico“A Qatari official also heralded the agreement in a post on X, writing that the two sides agreed late Wednesday “on all terms and mechanisms for implementing the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which will lead to stopping the war, releasing Israeli detainees and Palestinian prisoners, and allowing aid to enter. The details will be announced later.”

In recent weeks, Trump worked closely with Qatar in particular to unify other Arab allies behind his peace plan and to help convince Hamas officials to accept the deal.

Throughout the non-political life of Donald Trump, he has always expressed an interest in solving the continual conflicts in the Middle East.  Now, 40 years later as President of the USA, this remarkable objective could potentially be within grasp.

“Peace is the prize”

President Donald Trump and Secretary Marco Rubio will likely head to the region this weekend to participate in a remarkable peace agreement signing ceremony.
